Is expected to see action in center field this spring after spending most of his time in left field last season ... Possesses the speed to run balls down in the outfield, but must become a more consistent overall player, both offensively and defensively ... Showed ability in both phases at times during his freshman year ... Has some pop at the plate but must make more contact ... Tied for the team lead in walks in 2003, but also struck out 42 times ... Hit over .300 against right-handed pitchers and could be platooned in center with right-handed hitting freshman Nate Parks ... Should see his share of playing time ...

Put together a 21-for-56 streak at the plate (.375) over the Hokies' last 16 regular-season games ... Closed out the season with a .287 batting average ... Collected five doubles, three triples and four home runs ... Drove in 17 runs and scored 29 ... His 22 walks tied for tops on the team ... Hit .298 in BIG EAST games ...
